Austin French sings 'I Don't Want To Be' on Rising Star (VIDEO)

Austin French sang 'I Don't Want To Be' on Rising Star The Duels on July 20, 2014. Did he beat Adam Jaymes?

Experts Brad Paisley, Ludacris and Kesha voted YES.

I voted YES.

Austin French got 81% of the public vote.

The experts loved him and were happy that he "kinda" wore a suit on stage as Ludacris had suggested during rehearsals. I thought he did a great job.

"That was super soulful," said Kesha. "I felt like you left it on stage."

"You make everybody happy in here," said Ludacris. "I'm proud of you."

Brad Paisley wasn't able to critique due to time contraints.
